The National Meat Association (NMA) and the American Meat Institute
(AMI) filed a lawsuit in December to overturn part of a California law
set to ban the slaughter of non-ambulatory farmed animals for meat for
human consumption that reads: "[N]o slaughterhouse... shall buy, sell,
or receive a non-ambulatory animal. [N]o slaughterhouse shall process,
butcher, or sell meat or products of non-ambulatory animals for human
consumption" and further that "[N]o slaughterhouse shall hold a
non-ambulatory animal without taking immediate action to euthanize the
animal." NMA and AMI argue that federal law, which does permit slaughter
of non-ambulatory goats, pigs and sheep, supersedes state law.

God's animals suffer so much already in humanity's hands at factory
farms that it is unbelievable that both trade associations above, who
are seemingly run by people with hearts of stone, are not even slightly
sensitive to non-ambulatory animals. This, once again, proves that the
meat industry has no regard whatsoever for the lives of farmed animals;
and that greed and profit supersede any sense of compassion and mercy.
